the itch....

I have the itch. What itch might you ask? I'll explain at a later date.

tired

.......that is definitely an understatment. I am beyond tired. I am so tired that I don't sleep, literally. My mind is on work every.second.of.the.day. All I am asking is for ya'll to pray for me. I am so stressed right now to where I am not sleeping at night and then having to put in a 8 hr day at work. I know this sounds petty, but at this point I think prayer is what I need. 

Hope everyone is doing well!

blessed

I am blessed beyond belief with great friends and a great family! I just celebrated my 25th birthday and it might of been one of the best birthdays I have had in years. My mom made sure to make my day EXTRA special. She said she was making up for the past years that she has been gone on my birthdays. My day started out by sleeping in till 10:00am. I couldn't tell you the last time I have gotten to sleep in, and boy, it felt good! I then spent the latter part of my day laying around watching TV. It was quite nice not having to do anything. 

We all then headed out at about 5:30pm to meet everyone for dinner at Taste of Texas, my favorite resturante that I only go to 1 time a year, if that. My dinner was AMAZING. I had my amazing family including my aunt and uncle ( dad's sister ), Brandon's family and one of my best friends and her husband come to dinner. It was perfect company for a perfect birthday. Thanks to everyone who made it special! 

Enjoy the pictures!

The cake my mom made. I requested a strawberry cake and it was good! It was my nannies recipe which made it even more special, she was definitely with us in spirit.

I am probably going to take some heat about the pictures that I am JUST NOW posting, sorry JD and Danni. Don't ask me why it has taken me till June 7, 2009 to post these photos that were taken like in March or April. Oh well, better late than never right? 

Love ya'll!

These babies will be 1 month apart from each other

once you go MAC you never go BACK

It's true, it really is. I love my macbook, its the best. I also love my iphone. Actually, while I write this, I am listening to Stephen Speaks from my itunes on my iphone. Oh the greatness of itunes built into a phone. Speaking of Stephen Speaks, I seriously love this band and it's sad to think they are no longer. I remember the summer going into my freshman year of college at ACU I used to listen to their first CD "no more doubt" every.single.day. I love the song "Out of My League".

Sorry, I am reliving the past, haha!

So I have a pair of earings that I wear quite often to work and when I talk on the phone ( which is like every 5 mins because people think I have nothing better to do than anwer their phone calls) my right earing ALWAYS falls off. It's kinda annoying, actually it's a lot annoying.

Did anyone watch the womens college softball world series? Wait, who am I kidding....Danni, Val, JD and Kristen, did YA'LL watch the WS? I did, I am quite addicted to softball, its pathetic, as Brandon likes to remind me. I would like to express to you all who actually care, that I am upset that Washington won. I mean, it's cool because they are taking home the title for the first time but they are a PAC 10 school and I am sick of PAC 10 schools taking OVER SOFTBALL. (don't hate me val and kristen) I am glad that Florida did make it to the finals and being an SEC team, it's their first time to the final series of the tournament. I digress...

My birthday is Saturday. I'm turning 25. Now let me tell you something. It was a big deal when you turned 16, 18, 21....but I feel as though this birthday is a little different. I am going to be 25 .... mid 20's. Wow. I remember having my 8th birthday party when I was living in florida, I remember my 13th birthday in Texas, and many of birthdays at Kadesh Camp at ACU. I will be 25 and I will feel more like an adult, don't ask me why. My parent's and I were talking the other day and they mentioned how they couldn't believe their baby will be turning 25. It almost made me cry thinking of how time has flown by so fast from my first birthday till now. There are so many memories that I can look back on and say, wow. This birthday will be filled with fun, family and friends and I am looking forward to it.

Next Saturday will mark 1 month away till my 2nd diabetes camp. I am getting a little nervous and anxious for it to be here. Say some prayers for me in the next month that I stay sane and NOT STRESSED. :)

Anyway, I hope everyone is enjoying their summer thus far.

BYE!

10 things

It's been 21 days since I last made  post, oh well. I really don't have any EXCITING going on in my life right now. I mean, don't get me wrong, I have a busy life right now, but nothing terribly exciting is going on in it. But here is a few things that have been on my mind lately....

1. Brandon's birthday was Tuesday.....it was a good day. He is the type of person who just thinks their birthday is another day, I on the other hand, think its a day that is supposed to be celebrated to the fullest. 

2. One of my favorite shows is coming back on for another season..."Tori and Dean , Home sweet Hollywood". Can I tell you how excited I am for this? I love this show and their family! It's sooo cute!

3. I just got the iphone.....my blackberry was on its last leg and I had enough with T-mobile and so I switched over and got the iphone....soo far soo good! 

4. Brandon and I are on the last leg of getting all moved out of our townhouse and into my parents house. We will be moving the bedroom furniture this weekend and the last things we will need to move is our clothes. 

5. I am very excited for the summer to be here.....as much as I love the cold weather I am totally a summer girl. I guess growing up playing softball every single summer of my life, it has made me LOVE summers.

6. Brandon and I will be celebrating 4 years of being together July 16 and I am looking forward to that.

7. My 25th birthday is coming up....June 6th. I am very excited about this. This is the age where I can tell ppl and feel like an adult....don't ask me why. We will be going to my favorite restaurant , Taste of Texas. It's the best steakhouse E.V.E.R. .....We only go once a year....for my birthday of course. I think 3 out of the last 4 birthdays we have gone to Tof T. 

8. I am going back to school this summer and looking forward to EVERY bit of it....seriously....no sarcasm there either. As some of you know, I have not graduated yet. I have 30 hours left. I had the opportunity to take the job with the ADA with salary and full benefits and therefore, I put school on hold. School will always be there....jobs- not so much. So say some prayers for me :)

9. I am soooooo HAPPY that Kris Allen won American Idol!!!!!!! I think Adam Lambert is freaky weird . I seriously cannot watch him when he sings, I either turned my head or changed the channel. He grossed me out for some reason.

10. I am taking a week vacation in July....the family is packing up and going to Wisconsin ...my homeland! I am so excited for this! I haven't been back there since I was a sophomore in High School. We are going to go stay with my grandparents at their summer/fall home and go boating, tubing, water skiing, fishing, canoeing...you name it. 

Ok, so thats my life is a nutshell as of lately. Hope everyone is having a great summer thus far and staying cool! 

Until next time....

now is not the time!

The swine flu? REALLY!?!??!

The rain???? REALLY?!??!

I mean, didn't ANYONE know that tomorrow...yep- tomorrow is my diabetes camp????? People have definitely not been paying attention.

NO, camp is not canceled due to the STUPID swine flu and NO camp is not canceled due to the STUPID rain ( although, I really do love the rain, ok sorry- thats not the point. )

Come hell or high water ( literally) , Lotta Bright Hope Retreat 2009 ( great name huh? I definitely did NOT come up with that) will happen.

So my friend, say a little prayer that swine flu and the rain doesn't take over camp this weekend ( yeah, I'll be knocking on some wood just for saying that).

Thanks!
